i made this flan for a dinner party last night that was made up entirely of low fat dishes. i wasn't too confident about how this would be received and was i surprised. it is fabulous - everyone loved it. definitely not as rich as most flan but delicous and satisfying non the less. i'm just starting to try cooking "low fat" and i will definitely make this again.

I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
